Wrong path in NFO for some images - 34626 - 2024-08-05
Im running the official Jellyfin 10.9..9 docker image and have set my libaries up, so that my movies is in a folder, lets call it "Movies" and another names "Movies2".
Movies2 is used get the .NFO and images down in the movie folders, which works, but in the .NFO the whole path to the images is used, instead of the using the file name that is in the same folder, and whic becomes an issue when moving the folder into "Movies". "Movies" is read only in docker, to protect the files from changes by Jellyfin or its users.
When using the "Save metadata" (.NFO in media folder) and "Save illustrations and metadata in the media folder" is enabled, why does it use the whole path for the poster, backdrop etc.? Why not just "folder.jpg" "backdrop.jpg" since they are stored inside the folder of the movie as it's documentated at the Jellyfin organize and naming documentation:
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/
An example of a poster whould be:
/Movies2/movie_name (2000)/folder.jpg
But when moving the movie to "Movies" then the path is incorrect, because now the path is:
/Mevies/movie_name (2000)/folder.jpg
Why not just use:
folder.jpg
backdrop.jpg
banner.jpg
movie.nfo
When i have set it to download the illusations to the media folder?

Jellyfin uses absolute paths to store and find things.
Any reason you're making Jellyfin create metadata on one directory and moving the metadata to another directory?
You can always make the created metadata read-only after it's created. It shouldn't be much more work since you're already doing a lot of work just transferring from one place to another.

To secure the data, if someone should hack into my jellyfin server, then docker will be protecting the data :-)
My admin account is only useable on the local network, not from outside.
